Here’s a piece by Carter from Sunday’s Pittsburgh Post-Gazette discussing The Mayors’ Institute on City Design, which took place last month with mayors from Springfield, Illinois; Elkhart, Indiana; Canton, Ohio; Charleston and Huntington, West Virginia; Kenosha and Racine, Wisconsin.

See if you agree with his 10 “lessons” from the meeting (#1- There is hope!). It’s also interesting to read about the projects highlighted from these cities.

One response to “Lessons on City Design”

Very interesting piece and I pretty much agree with the 10 points. We are doing a number of them in madison but I think our mayer is a bureaucrat and not a visionary (compared to previous mayor Soglin). And I don’t think he or enough members of city council understand the need to maintain historic core buildings.
